# Prepare to Plan
Prepare to Plan, operating under the brand name Agenda, is a business consultancy firm based in Preston that specialises in optimising organisational performance and workplace productivity. Led by director Rachel Mallett, the firm works with business owners and their teams to streamline procedures, refine systems, and create environments where staff perform at their best.
The consultancy serves small to medium-sized business owners who recognise that their people and systems hold the key to sustainable success. They work particularly with those seeking to move beyond operational chaos—owners who want to genuinely enjoy their work whilst simultaneously maximising business output. Agenda's approach is holistic, addressing the interconnected challenges of leadership, team dynamics, and operational infrastructure.
What distinguishes Prepare to Plan is their pragmatic philosophy: that productivity gains come not from pushing harder, but from creating smarter systems and procedures that naturally bring out the best in employees. Rather than imposing generic solutions, they tailor their interventions to each business's unique culture and circumstances.
The firm operates across multiple advisory areas including staff management, business owner strategy, operational systems, and information technology integration. Their content-driven approach—sharing insights through their website across categories like "Your People" and "Business Tips & Advice"—demonstrates a commitment to educating clients rather than simply selling services.
This is consultancy rooted in practicality: helping business owners set their own agenda rather than being controlled by their circumstances.
